St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-09-24

We publish from the Picayune an
article" The Administration Dodge
in St. Landry" Referring to tho fact,
that the delegation sent by the Estilette
committee, about year ago, to the
Congressional convention. was refused
admittance to that body, the Picayune
errs in saying that the Estilette COM
nittee "is preparing to renew in the
congressional convention the fight
which it los: in che congressional CON-
mittee," The committee on creden-
tials, appointed by the congressional
convention, about a year ago, was in
ducrd to make majority report to seat
che Estllette delegates-merely appoint
ed by his so-called committeeman to
exclude the delegates of the regular
parish Democratic convention called by
the regular parish Democratic commit
tee but when the matter came before
the COZ vention itself and the evidence
was heaSd, backed up by o forcable
speech from w. s. Frazee. Esq, who
was one of the regular delegates, there
were unmistaksbis signs that the mi
nority report would be adopted and the
Estilette delegates left out. Seeing
iris drift, an Estilette sympathiger
moved TO admit both delegations, on Q
half vote each; but the convention,
evidently iDcensed at the effort and
peculiar tactics used to introduce into
it a delegation DOT sent there by the
Democratic party of St. Landry, adop-
ted the minority report and seated the
regular delegation. Such Q rebu1
should have ended the existence of the
Estiieite committee; and it is ended
here. 10 so far that it has no political
standing with the Democratic party.
Its acts are the acts of the individuals
that compose it. In view OF the action
of the previous congressional eanven-
dion. the one that is to meet in q few
days to nominate. successor to the de-
ceased congressman should not even
consider the question of seating the
Estilette delegates-that question waa
settled by the preceding convention

CRITICISM AND ISLANDER,
Picay une.

lthy uuts
At the beginning of the present can
vRss in this State the Observation-Disclosures
deprecated wi hat they styled "A CAM
paign of Islander" There had been no
slanderOus attack upon Governor Nc
Emery that we are aware Of; hut the
phrase sounded we'll, and could be
made available with the weak as an
evasion of fair and candid criticism.
IL it was charged that McEnery had
given the State II personal government :
that he bad appointed his favort-s over
the nen preferred and RECON- neu'trd
by the people; that ise bad removed
faithful and deserving H,eis from office,
rs, for instance, Com mnd0re Hunter I:
that he had appointed or retained I'M
faithful officials, as, for instance, Mr.
w. A. Strong; that he had shown him
self partial, weak and prncrastinating
where active remedial measures We're
necessary, AS, for instance, in regard to
the land contract; that he had dis
played vain aud arrogant contempt
for an institution long established and
universally regarded as bulwark of
Law and liberty, in proposing the abOli-
ton Of the grand jury system-when
any one Of these charges was made, his
thick and thin supporters were ready
with RliDW ~ vIrtn0ns indignation
over campaign ut aiapdere.
The absurdity of that complaint is so
obvious tina. We need be at no pains to
expose it. The Governor of Louisiana
is the servant of its people, aud he is
directly responsible to them for all his
official acts. Having been elected by
the suffrage of the Louisiana Demo-
cracy, he is espe cially responsible to
that organization, and he subjects him
self 10 just censure when he proceeds
upon tie theory that he owes consldera-
ton to faction only. In all this there
is DO question of SANDER. When We
allege tie notorious fact that Governor
McEnery disreRarded the expressed
preferences ut the people in the ap-
noinfr,ent Of police jurOrs 10 st. Lam
dry. East Baton Rouge and other par
ishes, it is no less preposteious to
charge US with Islander than it would
be when we contend that third terms
are undemocratic and dangerous. The
Picaynue is as much opposed to wanton
peraopsl attacks rs any Journal ~ this
States bat while 1t never goes behind
matters of public reegrd. it claims the
right of the utmost freedom pf inquiry
and criticism where the official coiiducG
Of the aeryants of the people is con-
ceraed. A hlameless administration

The Eatiletts committee met on the
9Th inst, according to the proceedings
published in last Saturdays Courier.
Six names appear in the proceedings,
and One of them was absent, but sent
ia his resignatOn--he was q recruit of
last years campaign. The committee
first authorized the president to order
primary elections for parish conven-
ton TO send delegates to the congress
sional convention at Baton Rouge on
the 2Sth inst. ; and also authorized him
to 6x the time and places for the ward
elections, and the time and place for
the parish. convention. Then the com-
mitiee authorized the president,
"si,ould he think proper to do cd, 10
lieu of primaries and convention, to
call mass-meeting of the Democrats
Of this parish at such time and place as
he may designnte." Well, he did
~' think proper to SO do" and called the
macs meeting at Grand Coteau railroad
depot on Saturday, Sept. Oath. Every
body here felt sure that the Estilette
committee would not risk an election
by the Democrats of this parish.

THE POLICE JURY QUESTION
AGAIN

No one QnestiOns, we believe, that the
Law depriving the people Of the priv.
leRe Of electing their police Jurors and
comforting upon the Governor the au.
tllo.lty to do 90, ia in derosation o!
popular right. II ia defended only on
the ground that it ia r party measure
an expedient. requiring the Democratic
parishes to suffer loss that the Re.
publican parishes may he deprived of q
right II urged to apply anch law
TO the Republican parishes only, the
answer id that such u pa,'ia! law would
not he saemiy and therefore the Demo.
cratic parishes nust hs the scape-goats
for the preparation of such 8 law
against the rights of the people. Max
ing the law general blinds no one as tn
its intent; and in onr opinion. II it had
applied only To- the Republican parishes
it would have been candid at least, and
given more satisfaction as the majority
of the parishes are Democratic.
The reason given for not wanting the
Republican parishes to elect their police
jurors, ia. that the management Ut the
parrish tinsnces-hrawn mainly from
Democratic taxpayrrs-wonld fall into
the hands of Notwithstanding Republic
cana. 1t looks Il little like irony for q
State administration that has been 80
prolific in defautfers and that haa by
means IF cnlorri Fraudulent vote
saddied an nnjnst burden Of $4,000
year for fifteen years upon the fax
payers of the State. to profess so much
snlicitude for these same taxprrs.
To avoid the operation of this nnjnst
police jury law in the Democratic par
ishes. it was suggested. that informal
elections Ivy the Democrats be held for
police jnr"rs. and that the Governor
would appoint those 80 elected That
the Governor made snch a promise 10
Senator Fnntenot, in regard to this
parish, we believe has never been de-
MED. They were elected, and the
Governor would not appoint them.
NO ut1iFlIES St'i w NV
Advocate for the Governors failure 10
do so, is that a majority" of the
Democratic votes of the parish WAS not
polled for police jurors. This il no de-
Tense at all In the first place the Gov
prnnr should have kept his word, if he
gave it. In the next place it is not re-
lni'ed that a majority of voters should
vote 10 order to elect an election takes

AJAX Nothing better for him than that
every Democrat in this State should he
brought to review In detail the circum-
stances under which he came into office
and the FOLEY which he puisued in
overcoming the numerous and appalling
difficulties with which he had to deal.
General Nichols himself reaOrts 10 no
evasion, seeks I'D conCealmrnt, in re-
gard tn any part Of that memorable
sra. He goes before the people, he
cnnfronts hls opponents and he is ready
10 answer the most searching quotations.
Immediately and on the spot. The
consequence ut tlIis manly course is the
complete vindicatiun of his stainless
record.
We could not believe in advance of
the event that General NichOls nppo-
npnts would have ventured 10 asaai the
policy and methods of his ahministra-
ton. No administration. No admins
tration had ever been SO much applaud
ed, and he retired from Office covered
with eulngy of the whole press aud car
rying with him the gratitude of the
people. His euemies waited for light
long years and until they imagined,
perhaps, that the memory of his service
had been dimmed by the lapse of time
before they grew bold enough to attack
him Onenly. 1t would have been better
for their fame and equally az well for
their cause if they had left that golden
silence still unbrnken. Their charges
have been answered and buried beneath
the contempt of the people. aud their
candidate. not General Nichols, is
upon the defensive.
